- Esquirol, Jean-Étienne-Dominique
(1772-1840)
physician
A noted physician who dealt with mental illnesses, Jean-Étienne-Dominique Esquirol was born in Toulouse. He was a student of philippe pinel and was doctor of medicine at La Salpêtrière, and chief inspector for the university of Paris. He is considered one of the founders of modern psychiatry. He was also responsible for setting up the present system of French psychiatric institutions and hospitals, and he fought, as did Pinel, for humane treatment of the mentally ill. Esquirol wrote an important work on the classification of deliria and dementia (Des Maladies mentales considerées sous le rapport médical, hygiénique, et médico-légal, 1838), in which he made the first delineation between mental deficiency and insanity.
